I am not a crazy. Yes, I am a conservative. That does not make me a crazy. I do not see eye to eye with the liberal point of view. (Some people would say that makes me sane.... You are allowed to laugh at that) The conservatives are taking a lot of flak for going to the town hall meetings and shouting, for being rowdy and rude. Okay - I will give it to you that this is happening, no argument there. Is this unheard of? Have you ever seen anything like this before? And did it always tick you off? Or sometimes did you root for those people and say Amen?
Just because a person has a different point of view, doesn't make it wrong. Because it came from Huffington Post, that doesn't make it right any more than if it came from Fox News makes it wrong. We have a way of seeing the same thing differently. Very differently.
I am from the middle class, self employed, a mother and grandmother. My parents are living and elderly and my grandchildren are all under the age of ten. I have a disabled grandchild. I have a lot of concerns. I truly believe when the budget gets tight there will be rationing of health care. You may not believe this is true - but who is to say who is right? I have read the words of President Obama's advisors - I don't like what I read. I don't like the way they say the calls will be made if and when budget restraints dictate what kind of care will be given. You have heard the President say they "won't pull the plug on Grandma.", but you have also heard him say that "hip replacement for his elderly grandmother would be a moral judgement call". That shouldn't be a moral judgement call.
Money, evil money, it's so easy to give it away, especially when it's not your's to give. The bill as it is being presented probably won't cost me a dime on the face of things. But it will in so many other ways. It will come down to taxes. And don't you think the cost what is levied on "The Wealthy, and big business" will not be passed on to the little people - of course it will. If I have to supply health insurance to my employees, or pay the tax for not supplying it - don't you think that will effect my hiring and wage decisions? You bet it will. Do you really think this country can keep spending money, and printing money with no consequences? Of course it can't. I certainly don't wish this debt on my children and grandchildren. Where are we going to get the money to pay for all of this? Are the wealthy an endless pool? How much distribution of weath is this country going to demand? Where did the mind set, that taking from the rich and giving to the poor is a good thing? Or is moral and just? Bottomline I think that is the major difference between the left and the right. I don't believe that I have the right to something that doesn't belong to me.
